Gary Neville says Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford NEED another year of Edinson Cavani at Manchester United as he hails the 'brilliant example' he sets, amid fears he'll quit for Boca Juniors

Gary Neville praised striker Edinson Cavani's 'brilliant example' set to Manchester United's young forwards after a fine performance in a 3-1 victory against Tottenham on Sunday, when he scored a crucial goal and could have had another.

The 34-year-old Uruguayan has scored eight goals in 29 appearances since signing on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in October, but his contract expires in June and his father revealed he wants to go to Argentine side Boca Juniors.

On the Gary Neville podcast, the Red Devils icon hailed Cavani's impact and stated his hope he would stay at Old Trafford to pass those skills on, despite Uruguay coach Mario Rebollo and ex-United defender Marcos Rojo talking up a move to Boca.
